What a great initiative! Our team in Fort St. John helped the Salvation Army with the ‘Birthday in a Box’ idea which would see a deserving child have a full blown birthday party with all the fixings; gifts, food, 10+ friends, etc.. a child that might otherwise not have this type of party.
An uplifting Covid news story! Please read.
Urban Systems Ltd. (Fort St. John Office) raised money within their office with the thought of ‘Birthday in a Box’ idea which would see a deserving child have a full blown birthday party with all the fixings; gifts, food, 10+ friends, etc.. a child that might otherwise not have this type
of party.
Covid changed this idea, but as it turned out the money set aside for the original idea ended up being enough for 3 families with 7 combined children to have gifts and party supplies for smaller family parties.
This is truly a great example of a community focused business.
Thank you to Edward and the whole team at Urban Systems/Matters for always thinking of the people of Fort St.John.
